Lowlands: The average temperature ranges between 25°C to 35°C (77°F to 95°F). Spring is an excellent time for wildlife sightings. The pleasant weather and active animals make it easier to spot various species, including tigers, rhinos, deer, and birds.
Pokhara: Trekking in the Pokhara valley is amazing in spring (March to May). The average daytime temperature is 15°C to 30°C (59°F to 86°F), Australian Camp being colder. The forests are green, and rhododendrons bloom, making the trail vibrant. It is a busy time of the year and the trails will be full of trekkers. It’s important to prebook the hotels.
Lowlands: The average temperature ranges 30°C to 40°C (86°F to 104°F). The hot and humid weather during the monsoon season can make wildlife sightings more challenging. Some animals may seek shelter and stay hidden in the dense vegetation due to the frequent rains.
Pokhara: Pokhara valley receives a lot of rainfall in general, so monsoons will be extremely wet and humid, with temperatures ranging from around 20°C to 35°C (68°F to 95°F). The downside of the monsoon is hovering clouds affecting visibility and slippery trails with leeches all along. While early June and late September are still advisable for trekking, July and August are not very ideal.
Lowlands: The average temperature ranges between 25°C to 30°C (77°F to 86°F). Autumn is another good time for wildlife viewing. The weather is pleasant, and the grasslands are less dense, making it easier to spot animals like rhinos, elephants, and various bird species.
Pokhara: It is the most popular time of the year to trek with clear skies and stable weather conditions. The monsoon rains will have subsided, and visibility of the mountain ranges is excellent. The temperatures range between 15°C to 30°C (59°F to 86°F). As the region is very accessible, trails and hotels can be busy this time around.
Lowlands: The average temperature ranges from 15°C to 25°C (59°F to 77°F). Winter is another favorable time for wildlife sightings. The cooler temperatures encourage animals to come out into the open, making it more likely to spot them near rivers and watering holes. It is also a good time to spot migratory birds that travel all the way from Siberia. The days with dense low fogs are extremely cold and can compromise visibility.
Pokhara: Winter is a great time to trek in the valley. As we don’t reach significant elevation, the mountains look sparkling white on non-gloomy days. The temperatures go between 10°C to 25°C (50°F to 77°F) during daytime and can go lower at night. It is very pleasant and not very cold. The trails are not very busy and lodges are operational.
